Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) will give students the option of learning from home through February 12 following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, according to local media citing the president of a teachers union. The school district, which has an enrolment of about 29,000 students, had previously said there would be no classes for the rest of the week “due to safety concerns” after Wednesday’s shooting. According to Fox 9, Marcia Howard, the president of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators (MFE), wrote on Facebook that students will be given the option to learn from home

Faith leaders, union representatives and community members are calling for a Day of Truth and Freedom on Friday, Jan. 23 — urging all Minnesotans not to go to work, school or go shopping in response to Operation Metro Surge. Organizers held a news conference Tuesday morning outside of the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis to announce the statewide day of mourning and action. It comes amid ongoing tensions over the federal law enforcement surge in Minnesota that escalated after ICE officer Jonathan Ross fatally shot 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Good last week.

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Public Schools will not be holding classes this Thursday and Friday "due to safety concerns." The school district posted the message on its website, adding they will not be moving to e-learning because that is only allowable for severe weather. The announcement comes almost 12 hours after a woman was killed by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis. (Snip) "Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no school on Thursday, Jan. 8 and Friday, Jan. 9 due to safety concerns related to today’s incidents around the city. All MPS-sponsored programs, activities, athletics and Community Education
A blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole Good hysterically blamed herself for her partner’s killing at the hands of ICE agents, gut-wrenching footage shows. The woman was filmed distraught and sobbing just steps from Good’s wrecked car in Minneapolis Wednesday morning, as a neighbor who heard the commotion asked her what happened. “I made her come down here, it’s my fault,” the woman said through sobs. “They just shot my wife.” “They shot her in the head. I have a 6-year-old in school,” she appeared to say. Good was shot dead while behind the wheel
One day after announcing he was scrapping his re-election bid, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota vocally pushed back against calls by Republican state lawmakers to resign amid the state's sweeping fraud scandal. "I'm not going anywhere. And you can make all your requests for me to resign. Over my dead body will that happen," Walz told reporters as he answered questions for the first time since his stunning re-election announcement. (Snip) But a combative Walz trained his verbal attacks on President Donald Trump and Minnesota Republicans. Pointing to Republicans in the state legislature, the governor warned, "Expect
Residents of Staten Island have discussed renewed calls for secession from New York City after newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani visited the borough. Mamdani, 34, was sworn in as New York's youngest mayor in more than a century on New Year's Day - its first Muslim, South Asian, and African-born leader. He ran on a Democratic socialist platform that included raising the minimum wage to $30 by 2030, raising the city's corporate tax to 11.5 percent, city-run grocery stores, fare-free buses, and freezing rent on rent-stabilized apartments. Citizens and lawmakers of Staten Island, a staunch Republican
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani didn't back down from his campaign promises as he was inaugurated at City Hall on a blustery New Year's Day: He said he would tax the rich, make buses free, and deliver "abundance." (Snip) The new mayor didn't shirk from his socialist identity upon taking office, vowing to draw the city together by replacing "the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism." "We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe. I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist. I will
Jessica Tarlov, Fox News' resident liberal panelist on The Five, has demonstrated her lack of intelligence once again. When independent reporter Nick Shirley's explosive investigation into alleged fraud at Somali daycare centers in Minnesota came up for discussion, Tarlov questioned the scope of his findings while missing the point so spectacularly that I felt compelled to highlight it. (Snip)Tarlov actually questioned whether Shirley, working mainly on his own, could have genuinely uncovered the full scale of the alleged fraud. "Nick Shirley's reporting — there's no way that this kid walking around uncovered $100 million worth of fraud on his own,"

Zohran Mamdani will be the first New York City mayor to be sworn in on a Quran when he takes office at midnight on Jan. 1, officials said. Mamdani, who will be the first Muslim to lead City Hall, will use at least three different sets of Islam’s holy book to take the oath of office during his private and public ceremonies Thursday, his spokesperson said. The far-left pol is expected to use his grandfather’s Quran and one that belonged to black writer and historian Arturo Schomburg, lent by the New York Public Library, during a private midnight ceremony at
Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of late President John F. Kennedy, has died shortly after announcing she had a terminal cancer diagnosis, the JFK Library Foundation said Tuesday. "Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts," read a message from her family on the institution's Instagram account, alongside an image of Schlossberg. Schlossberg, 35, who had a career as an environmental journalist, wrote in an essay published by The New Yorker last month that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024, shortly after the birth of her second child. She underwent

The historic old City Hall subway station, a decommissioned train stop that sits below New York City’s seat of government, will play host to Zohran Mamdani’s swearing-in as the Big Apple’s new mayor at midnight on Jan. 1, his transition team announced on Monday. Mamdani, who was in part elected on a pledge to make city buses fare-free, will take the oath of office in the ornate century-plus year-old subway station just as the calendar turns to the new year. The private event, which will be open exclusively to Mamdani’s family and select members of the press, will see him
An “unlucky” illegal immigrant allegedly crashed into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle and was subsequently nabbed, the agency said. “This blooper is one for the books!” U.S. Border Patrol official Gregory K. Bovino said in a Facebook post. A female Honduran national allegedly ran a red light in Slidell, Louisiana and plowed into an ICE vehicle that was in the area as part of the agency’s Operation Catahoula Crunch. (Snip) “Apparently, she never learned the lesson that red means stop, not ‘accelerate and collide with a government vehicle actively enforcing federal law,'” Bovino posted.

Trump ‘Takeover’ 25 replies
The Washington National Opera (WNO) is taking its final bow and leaving the Trump-Kennedy Center in what one WNO director called the “takeover” of the institution by President Donald Trump.
“Today, the Washington National Opera announced its decision to seek an amicable early termination of its affiliation agreement with the Kennedy Center and resume operations as a fully independent nonprofit entity,” the opera said in a statement to the New York Times.
The company said its board of trustees voted to move all its upcoming performances out of the center’s 2,364-seat Opera House. They intend to find new locations in Washington, DC, but no leases have yet been signed.
'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams dies at 68

"Dilbert" creator Scott Adams died Tuesday at the age of 68 after a battle with prostate cancer.
Reports broke Monday that Adams had entered hospice care and was declining at a rapid pace. As of press time, his X account was broadcasting a live video of his friends mourning his death.
Adams was most well-known for his cartoon comic strip "Dilbert", but later became a successful podcaster, hosting "Coffee with Scott Adams." He was a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump.
Prior to his death, Adams embraced Christianity.
The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released video of a Secret Service agent assigned to JD Vance leaking sensitive information to an undercover reporter.
The agent at the center of O’Keefe’s latest sting, Tomas Escotto, is a Biden holdover and has only been a US citizen since 2018.
Escotto told the O’Keefe Media Group undercover reporter details about how Vance is surrounded and revealed advanced security procedures.
The Secret Service agent also revealed Vance’s future travel plans and sent images from Air Force Two while he was traveling with Vance.

Epstein Probe, Comer To Pursue Contempt Charges 18 replies
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement posted on X that they do not plan to appear for their scheduled depositions this week. "Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and it's principles, no matter the consequences, the Clintons wrote in a 8-page letter. "For us, now is that time." (snip) [Congressman James] Comer said Tuesday morning, "We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee . . . to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress."
President Donald Trump said last week that he was “immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes” and “will be calling on Congress to codify” the proposal. His advisers need to show him why that’s a bad idea.
Trump promised to “discuss this topic, including further housing and affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks.” So there is time to present clear arguments that should convince him to quietly drop the plan.
If we had an audience with the president, we’d first remind him that the government in a free country has no authority to determine who
Social media has become a driver of information, among many other things, but it’s also provided the single greatest argument toward ending women’s suffrage. I’m sorry, but white, crusty, liberal women have killed the case for the 19th Amendment. Should there be a complete and total shutdown of women’s voting rights until we can figure out what’s going on? Maybe. Look, we know what’s going on, to be honest. We killed their hopes of a Hillary Clinton presidency and obliterated Kamala Harris’ shoddy, inept, and overall shambolic 2024 campaign.

Have you ever “taken to the streets” over any issue? Marched in a protest? Chanted whatever some weirdo ordered you to repeat? Maybe, but probably not. The only protests or marches I’ve ever attended were one against war a friend wanted to go to and he didn’t want to drive to DC alone (plus, I’d never been to DC at that point), one I got extra credit for in college involving newspaper strike, and one that was an annual even to “protest” pot laws because we went to meet chicks and get stoned in a crowd – mostly the novelty of it (which is now common).

Ibrahima Diop, the finance boss at Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), has been placed on administrative leave, Alpha News has learned. Alpha News has reported extensively on Diop and questionable contracts with Frontier Transportation Services, hired by MPS to transport Homeless and Highly Mobile (HHM) students in passenger vans. Additionally, another transportation company under contract with the district was filmed dropping children off at the now-closed Quality "Learing" [sic.] Center -- a moment many believe was staged to make the site appear active. MEISA Transportation Services were recorded outside of the Minneapolis daycare made famous in a Nick Shirley video for misspelling the word "learning."
I don’t think anyone would confuse Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson with a sharp legal mind. She often comes across as the poster child for what’s wrong with DEI hires. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Little v. Hecox, a case that will likely decide whether laws barring biological males from competing on girls’ sports teams are constitutional. Given that Jackson famously admitted during her confirmation hearings that she didn’t know what a woman was — because, as she put it, she’s “not a biologist” — you knew she was bound to be a real spectacle.
State Representative Gabby Salinas (D-Memphis) introduced a bill last week that seeks to interfere with the operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Tennessee.
House Bill (HB) 1482 would prevent ICE agents from using areas such as public parking lots, vacant lots, public garages, public schools, and religious institution property as a “staging area.”
The bill defines a “staging area” as an “area that is used to assemble, mobilize, and deploy vehicles, equipment, or materials, and related personnel.”
“No child or person should fear being abducted or risk having their family ripped apart when they leave their home,” Salinas said on Facebook. “We are losing friends, neighbors,
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is upgrading her Los Angeles real estate portfolio, trading one celebrity-soaked neighborhood for another.
Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff recently dropped a little over $8 million ($8.15 million) on a 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Point Dume, a neighborhood in Malibu that’s home to a who’s who of both Hollywood and — more recently — Silicon Valley power players, the California Post has learned. In recent weeks several Point Dume residents have spotted Emhoff strolling through the neighborhood which rests on a 63-acre promontory perched above one of California’s most famous and exclusive beaches known as Little Dume.
